Now Entering Buckeye Country
• iHeartMedia Country WCKY/Toledo, OH has downshifted to Classic Country and rebranded as Buckeye Country, 103.7 ‘CKY. Market President Shosh Abromovich said, “We’re so excited to once again be playing some of Country music’s greatest songs from the ’80s & ’90s through today. You may even hear some older Classic Country from time-to-time. These are the songs that take you through a range of emotions; from love to heartbreak to having a beer with your friends on the weekend. You’ll be able to sing along and dance along to every song we play!”
Scott Sands, SVP of Programming, explains, “Buckeye Country will feature the real icons of country music like George Strait, Alan Jackson, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Travis Tritt, Shania Twain, Alabama, Kenny Chesney, Brooks & Dunn, Clint Black, Kenny Rogers, Reba McEntire, Randy Travis and so many more.” Sands adds, “These are the real country superstars, and many of them haven’t been heard on the radio in Northwest Ohio in a long time. That changes now!”
Buckeye Fun Fact: “This is actually a return to the station’s roots,” notes AE Todd Wright, a 30-year WCKY vet. “The call letters WCKY were actually selected from the word ‘buCKeYe,’ and we were known as ‘Buckeye Country’ until 2007.”
The Bobby Bones Show remains in morning drive, followed by Bob Delmont and Bob Pickett, who will split middays. Meaghan Mick continues in afternoon drive. Tom Travis is new to nights, followed by CMT with Cody Allen in overnights.
